Aunt June made a huge impression on me in the few years I have known her. She was very humorous and kind, straightforward, and a great communicator. I felt a kindred spirit with her, and I'm sad that we didn't have a chance to spend more time getting to know each other. Wonderful woman, huge loss. Hugs to the family.

I have such fond memories of June. She was beautiful, vivacious, fun-loving, kind, extremely generous and loved everyone. She was a peacekeeper. She loved her family and travelled a long way to attend Scott and Michelle's wedding in Dinuba, CA. She was faithful and loyal and she will surely be missed by many.
